We’ve listened to feedback from families and created a new online form to help you check the progress of your child’s Education, Health and Care Needs Assessment (EHCNA) application.
Before we launch it later this year, we’re inviting parents and carers to try it out and tell us what you think. It only takes a few minutes and your feedback will help shape how it works for other families.
Who can take part?
You can take part if:
- Your child currently has an EHCNA application in progress, and
- You’ve received an acknowledgement letter confirming your application.
How to get involved
Email ehcpreview@leeds.gov.uk and say you’d like to trial the EHCNA application status form. We’ll then send you the form along with a short guide on how to use it.
What you’ll need To complete the form and get an update, you’ll need:
- Your Synergy reference number (from your acknowledgement letter – it’s 6 or 7 digits long). If you can’t find it, let us know in your email.
- Your child’s date of birth
- Your email address – this must match the ‘main contact’ email we hold for your child. If it doesn’t, we won’t be able to send the update. In that case, we’ll need to carry out some checks before we can update your child’s record.
Once you submit the form, we’ll check your details. If everything matches, we’ll email you the current status of your child’s EHCNA application.
We’ll also send you a short feedback form so you can tell us about your experience.
Thank you for helping us improve services for families in Leeds.
